HorizonDECADES

In science many #ideas are flying around, some become reality and while others end up in a cupboard.  Luckily some #visions are so strong and amazing that you can´t let them go and work hard for them to become reality. In our case we had the vision to bring experts from industry and academia in the field of biocatalysis together and make an exciting symposium on Biocatalysis named IBPRO2025 in Aarhus Denmark. You can check it out here: https://lnkd.in/dJ_A28JE If you are as lucky as HorizonDECADES, there are people and organizations who believe in your visions and help you to make them happen. And who believes in us and our vision? No other than the Novo Nordisk Foundation Thank you for your support of our symposium and helping us to make our vision come true. If you are interested in joining us in Aarhus you can be part of this event either in person or online by registering here: https://lnkd.in/gfqzWCrY And all of this was only possible thanks to the external conference funding we received from the Novo Nordisk Foundation. #MSCA #HorizonDECADES #REA #ResearchImpactEU #H2021 #NovoNordiskFonden #Research #Innovation #DES #Catalysts #Sustainability #biocatalysis #Science #PhDLife #DeepEutecticSolvents #Symposium #EU #HorizonEurope

IBPRO2025 | Meet the Invited Speakers (4/8) We are excited to welcome Dr. Juan M Bolivar as a keynote speaker at IBPRO2025! Dr. Bolívar earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the Complutense University of Madrid (Universidad Complutense de Madrid) in 2009, followed by postdoctoral research at the Institute of Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering at the Graz University of Technology (Technische Universität Graz). Currently, he continues his research work at Complutense University of Madrid, where his research focuses on enzyme immobilization and stabilization, heterogeneous biocatalyst design, bioprocess intensification, and O₂-dependent enzymatic transformations. His expertise extends to microreaction technology and process analytical technologies in bioprocesses. Don’t miss the opportunity to hear from Dr. Bolívar at IBPRO2025 and gain insights into his pioneering work in biocatalysis through his talk: “Biocatalytic Reaction Intensification in Bioprocesses: From Waste Valorization to Platform Chemicals”! #KeynoteSpeaker #IBPRO2025 #Biocatalysis #ReactionIntensification #ScientificInnovation #ResearchExcellence #NetworkingOpportunity

IBPRO2025 | Meet the Invited Speakers (3/8) We’re delighted to welcome Dr. Bettina Nestl as a keynote speaker at IBPRO2025! Dr. Nestl received her Ph.D. in Organic and Bioorganic Chemistry from the University of Graz, Austria, in 2007. She then pursued postdoctoral research at the The University of Manchester, UK, with Prof. Nick Turner before leading a biocatalysis research group at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. Since 2020, Dr. Nestl has been Senior Scientist and COO at Innophore, a biotech company based in Graz and San Francisco. Innophore leverages AI-driven enzyme discovery and development for applications in biotech and pharmaceuticals. Join us at IBPRO2025 to hear from Dr. Nestl and learn about the future of AI-powered biocatalysis with her talk, titled: Leveraging AI for catalophore-guided enzyme developments! #KeynoteSpeaker #IBPRO2025 #Biocatalysis #AIinBiotech #EnzymeDiscovery #ScientificInnovation #ResearchExcellence #NetworkingOpportunity

IBPRO2025 | Meet the Invited Speakers (2/8) We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Erika Tassano as one of the keynote speakers at IBPRO2025! Dr. Tassano is a Principal Scientist in the Bioreactions Group at Novartis Biomedical Research in Basel, Switzerland. Since 2019, she has been driving innovation in biocatalysis for medicinal chemistry and organic synthesis. Before joining Novartis, she was a postdoctoral researcher at the Technische Universität Graz, Austria, where she worked on ADH-driven redox-neutral systems and P450 monooxygenases for decarboxylation of unnatural compounds. Dr. Tassano earned her Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences and Technologies from the Università degli Studi di Genova, Italy, focusing on eco-sustainable synthesis of biologically active compounds. Join us at IBPRO2025 to hear from Dr. Tassano and her groundbreaking contributions to biocatalysis with her talk, titled: Genome Mined FE(II)/KG Dioxygenases for the Synthesis of Non-Canonical Amino Acids in Drug Discovery! #KeynoteSpeaker #IBPRO2025 #Biocatalysis #MedicinalChemistry #ScientificInnovation #ResearchExcellence #NetworkingOpportunity

IBPRO2025 | Meet the Invited Speakers (1/8) We’re excited to present Dr. Jiri Damborsky as one of the keynote speakers at IBPRO2025! Dr. Damborský holds the Josef Loschmidt Chair Professorship of Biochemistry at Masaryk University Brno, Czech Republic. His research group excels in protein engineering, pioneering innovative concepts, microfluidic devices, and software tools like Caver, CaverDock, Hotspot Wizard, FireProt, and EnzymeMiner—transforming computational enzyme design globally. Additionally, Dr. Damborský co-founded Enantis Ltd., Masaryk University’s first biotechnology spin-off, showcasing the synergy between academia and industry. Among his numerous accolades, he was named an EMBO/HHMI Scientist by the European Molecular Biology Organization and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Join us at IBPRO2025 to hear from this trailblazer in the field, with his talk titled: Protein Engineering Powered by Bioinformatics, Machine Learning and Microfluidics! #KeynoteSpeaker #IBPRO2025 #ProteinEngineering #Biocatalysis #ScientificInnovation #ResearchExcellence #NetworkingOpportunity
